Product Reviews of ProTec PC-1 Humidifier Tank Cleaning Cartridge (Pack of 1)
Product Review: Extends Filter Life
Summary: 5 Stars
I have an evaporizing humidifier. I dropped one of these in the tank and my filter was good for almost a month. The indicator barely moved. I removed the cartridge from the tank and intended on getting a new one from the store. I put it off and forgot and my filter was bad by the end of the week. My new filter only lasted 2 weeks without the cartridge. This cartridge extended my filter life by almost double. Probably would have been longer if I had replaced the cartridge sooner. $30.00 later & replacing my filter AGAIN I'm buying more of these. They definitely help.Product Review: Helps keep the slime down.
Summary: 4 Stars
These cartridges really do help keep down growth in the tank. I wouldn't run my daughter's humidifier without them anymore. People shouldn't assume, however, that they replace regular cleaning of the humidifier. I think they're a great adjunct to routine humidifier care.Product Review: Highly misleading
Summary: 1 Stars
The description for this cartridge says that it "provides continuous protection against mold and bacteria" with its "Aquastat" antimicrobial technology. If you read the literature that comes with it, however, it says that it prevents microbe growth *in the cartridge*. Not in your humidifier. It's not an antimicrobial cartridge; it's a demineralization cartridge. Whoever reported that it removes slime must be imagining it.Product Review: Humidifier Tank Cleaner Cartridge
Summary: 4 Stars
This product seems to work very well and is certainly easy to use as it is merely dropped into the water tank. I have 2 humidifiers and 4 of the cleaner cartridges. At month-end, I remove the two in use and replace them with two new ones. I rinse off the used ones and put them aside to dry to use at the next month end.Product Review: It works.
Summary: 5 Stars
After paying well over a hundred dollars for a humidifier, I got so tired of the sloppy job of cleaning slime out of it that I was almost ready to throw the thing away. After replacing its $15.00 filters (every 3 months) that seem to do about nothing, it didn't seem worth the cost and effort to keep it operating. The unit's instructions advised me not to use any additives but just clean the thing about every filling and keep replacing those filters as directed. So, since I was going to throw the thing out anyway, I tried one of these cartridges.
It worked. It's been about a month, and the slime is starting to come back, but that's supposed to be the effective life of the cartridge. The humidifier survives. I still have to clean it, but the task is now infrequent and easier.
So, it does what it's supposed to do; does it for as long as it's supposed to do it; hasn't harmed the over-priced humidifier; and is good for the environment as long as it keeps this humidifier out of a landfill.
